Not the best part of town. My uncle had an antique store down near that area. Somebody tried robbing his shop after hours too. Ya'll may remember ARK antiques.

you ever been in a GD gun fight?"
Thought not.
You ever had anyone point a gun at you in anger?
thought not.
Gun fight going down, lead flying, you walk into the middle of it as a cop.........you got no damn time to figure out who is the good guy.
You holler drop the friggin weapon.......and if they don't you got to assume they are the bad guy.
Some times **** just happens...............
ok. rant off.back to my peaceful retirement where I don't have to give a flyin frick who is the dumb ass and who is the bad guy..
Too soon to be making judgments, but as stated in the above posts, the store owner was clearly in violation of the law.
The specifics surrounding the police/shooter interaction are at this point conjecture. We don't know exactly what happened.
I suspect the officers will draw no sanctions, and the store owner may be charged. I understand his rage, but he was still outside the law. This differs from the Ersland case in a number of ways.
I'm glad I wasn't driving down that street when that was going down.
<edit> Went to the link--there is more than the OP's paste covers. Nice to see that the store owner got a piece of one of the alledged robbers, though that may earn him more grief (if he lives). The presence of gang unit officers in the area should be all we need to know about this part of town. Here's more:

According to police, those two people in the vehicle had attempted to rob the liquor store earlier, that's why the store owner began chasing them and shooting at them.
However, according to Captain Dexter Nelson with the Oklahoma City police, the officers did not know what was going on, only that a man was firing shots at two people inside a vehicle.
Capt. Nelson said the store owner did not comply with officers' orders and they were forced to open fire.
The store owner was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
The suspect vehicle crashed nearby. The two suspects attempted to run away from the scene. They were taken into custody by members of the Oklahoma City police gang unit who happened to be in the area.
It turns out one of the robbery suspects was hit by gunfire. He's in critical condition. The other received injuries in the crash.
The officers involved were not injured.
Police have not identified anyone involved in this case.
The shooting is still under investigation.

Ersland did exactly the same thing, with the exception that he came back into his store, rearmed himself and executed a wounded assailant.
If the robbery started in the liquor store, thats where it should have ended, no need for cameras they would only be used against the store owner. Business owners don't have very many rights outside their business or outside of our homes. How does anyone stay ever vigilant and ready for that one time when it happens? I mean never letting your guard down just that one time? Business owners go thru that every day they open up.
There is something to be said for staying at home at night, huh? LOL
Amen to THAT!
